Ingredients

4 very overripe bananas
1 ½ C all-purpose flour
1 ¾ C semi whole wheat flour (gluten free options below)
¼ C Lean Superfood Protein Shake
½ C dairy-free, dark chocolate chips of choice
¼ C Cacao Powder
2 tsp baking powder
2 tsp baking soda
¾ C coconut milk
½ C good quality olive oil
1 Tbsp apple cider vinegar
1 tsp vanilla extract
⅓ tsp sea salt
¼ C chopped hazelnuts

Step 1:

Mash the bananas, leaving a few pieces still intact.

Step 3:

Add in the coconut milk, olive oil, vanilla extract, and apple cider vinegar.

Step 4:

Add in the flours, protein powder, cacao powder and the chocolate chips.

Step 5:

Fold in the salt, mix. Place paper muffin cups into muffin try and pour mixture in. Top with more chocolate chips and chopped hazelnuts.
